Abstract
The planning of a forest road network is preceded by a detailed analysis of
the current qualitative and quantitative state of forest roads, and above
all, the determination of their spatial layout. This paper presents a
categorization and assessment of the state of the existing roads in the FMUs
"Zeljin" and "Bukovik II" and defining of the parts of management units with
insufficiently developed networks of forest roads. The identification of
unopened and insufficiently opened parts of management units was performed on
the basis of density of a forest road network by departments and using a
fishnet with 500 x 500 m cell dimensions and buffer zones of different widths
around forest roads. The absolute density of a forest road network in the FMU
"Zeljin" is 18.62 m/ha and in the FMU "Bukovik II" 12.03 m/ha. After placing
buffer zones around forest roads, it was found that in the FMU "Zeljin" over
56% of the area is covered by the zone ranging from 0 to 200 m, while in the
FMU "Bukovik II" this zone covers 48% of the area.
